Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 1
Supercritical Fluid• as a liquid is heated in a sealed container, more vapor collects
causing the pressure inside the container to rise and the density of the vapor to increase and the density of the liquid to decrease
• at some temperature, the meniscus between the liquid and vapor disappears and the states commingle to form a supercritical fluid
• supercritical fluid have properties of both gas and liquid states

The Critical Point• the temperature required to produce a
supercritical fluid is called the critical temperature
• the pressure at the critical temperature is called the critical pressure
• at the critical temperature or higher temperatures, the gas cannot be condensed to a liquid, no matter how high the pressure gets

Sublimation and Deposition• molecules in the solid have thermal energy that allows
them to vibrate• surface molecules with sufficient energy may break
free from the surface and become a gas – this process is called sublimation
• the capturing of vapor molecules into a solid is called deposition
• the solid and vapor phases exist in dynamic equilibrium in a closed containerat temperatures below the melting point therefore, molecular solids have a vapor pressure

Melting = Fusion
• as a solid is heated, its temperature rises and the molecules vibrate more vigorously
• once the temperature reaches the melting point, the molecules have sufficient energy to overcome some of the attractions that hold them in position and the solid melts (or fuses)
• the opposite of melting is freezing

Phase Diagrams• describe the different states and state changes that
occur at various temperature - pressure conditions• areas represent states• lines represent state changes
liquid/gas line is vapor pressure curveboth states exist simultaneouslycritical point is the furthest point on the vapor pressure
curve• triple point is the temperature/pressure condition
where all three states exist simultaneously• for most substances, freezing point increases as
pressure increases

Water – An Extraordinary Substance• water is a liquid at room temperature
most molecular substances with small molar masses are gases at room temperature
due to H-bonding between molecules
• water is an excellent solvent – dissolving many ionic and polar molecular substances because of its large dipole moment even many small nonpolar molecules have solubility in water
e.g., O2, CO2
• water has a very high specific heat for a molecular substance moderating effect on coastal climates
• water expands when it freezes at a pressure of 1 atm
about 9% making ice less dense than liquid water
